Hey there!

I am trying to upload an Avatar and it gives me "upload failed" error. I have a feeling there's a permissions issue with the avatars folder.

Let me know when I can give it a shot!

For the last few weeks all of my image uploads have failed. I'm only half way to my file limit...
I have no idea why. Have tried multiple times with multiple images on different browsers. No success.

Same here, haven't been able to upload any pictures except for my first one which is my avatar a couple months ago.

I can't change mine either

Alright it definitely has to be something on the server end. I'm an IT guy, have owned a ton of forums in the past... Must be something stupid with permissions.

Who is the admin/owner?

 

[seadooadmin]

The permissions are fine. Looked at both usergroup and forum permissions. Have you guys tried this in different browsers and layouts?

I have tried to upload JPG, BMP and PNG using two different computers with three different browsers (IE, Chrome & Firefox) without any luck. The images are immediately rejected by the forum.

Same here I am an IT guy also, tried chrome, IE and firefox. Tried changing the picture size and format still nothing.

Hey Lee! I think it may be folder based permissions... Here is how to fix it

You have open_basedir restrictions on your server. To get uploads to work you need to create a 'tmp' subdirectory under your main host directory and chmod it to 777. Then in the Admin CP set "Upload In Safe Mode?" to 'Yes' and point the "Safe Mode Temp Directory" to that directory. If you placed the tmp directory in the right place, the path to the Safe Mode Temp Directory will be:

/home/SEADOOSPARKFORUMUSERNAME/tmp

Also the php.ini setting for 'upload_tmp_dir' is empty. It's possible you (as root) or your host will need to edit php.ini and set 'upload_tmp_dir' to point to the full path to a directory on the server that is chmod'd to 1777. You will also need to restart Apache after making this change.

That should fix the problem!

Hi guys,

I think I may have resolved the issue. Please try again to post your avatars and let me know how that works for you.

Cheers,

I just tested it out with our account and I got the same error message.
I have reported the issue to the Techs so they can get this fixed.

Can you try it out now and see if you're able to upload an avatar. You should be able to.
